PINILLA ROA, Análida Elizabeth  e  MORENO OLIVOS, Tiburcio. The role of the university school knowledge. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2015, vol.40, n.3, pp.241-245. ISSN 0120-2448.

Daily and scientific knowledge that make up the university or academic school knowledge is categorized; the university professor is situated as the main actor who creates, manages, integrates, and in turn transforms knowledge in front of the student; the complex didactic transposition in health sciences is enhanced, since the action of the specialist / teacher is to propose solutions to the diverse problems of each patient. Next, an academic reform with a flexible non encyclopedic curriculum facilitating the elaboration of knowledge by students is proposed. Then, the argument about what to teach according to clinical epidemiology, but moving beyond the specific knowledge to propose the development of different capacities or specific, transversal and social life skills; why teach, according to the epistemological position and professional knowledge of the teacher and the position that a student is developing. Likewise, the ontology of knowledge, science and research and the way a college student permanently builds his own knowledge in interaction with his social and cultural environment, is discussed. Finally, university work with active methodologies centered in the student with a tutor, who supports skills development (integrating knowledge, skills and attitudes) with varying degrees of complexity and depth according to the level of training, is encouraged. To conclude, the university professors are invited to respond with their teaching, research and extension with the commitment to support undergraduate and graduate students.
